Copied from a post by Perry on TheMat


"Should be a good match up on Friday, with a rematch of Houdashelt vs. Kindig. Should be several other fun matches as well.


125: Waters dec. Klimara - Waters should win this one without being pushed too much, but I doubt Klimara lets him get bonus (unless he gets sloppy on bottom). 3-0 Mizzou

133: Harding dec. Synon. Don't know much about either guy, picked Harding because I think he has a cooler name. 3-3

141: Lavion Mayes dec. Dean Heil. Heil is good, but Mayes is on a roll. 6-3 Mizzou

149: Houdashelt dec. Kindig. The highlight match up of the evening. I've gotta go with Houdashelt, 4-1 (3-1?) with his only loss coming from a somewhat questionable call or two at the Scuffle. 9-3 Mizzou

157: LaValle dec. Collica. Close match, but LaValle takes it by a decision. 12-3

165: Dieringer major England. Dieringer is always fun to watch, should be a dominant victory with the possibility of a tech or pin. England is decent and should be able to put up a fight but I don't see any chance of him winning. 12-7 Mizzou

174: Eblen dec Rogers. Eblen has wrestled very well so far this season and taken out some good talent in Wilps and Weatherman. I like Rogers' style, but I don't think he gets it done here. 15-7 Mizzou

184: Miklus dec. Boyd. Another swing match where both guys are very close. Miklus looks solid when he's on - I'll give him the nod being at home. 18-7 Mizzou

197: Cox dec. whoever. I don't remember who OSU has here, even. I imagine he will wrestle to keep it close more than to win. 21-7 Mizzou

285: Marsden dec. Mellon. Marsden is looking much better than last season. I can't see Mellon challenging him for a win. 21-10 Mizzou


OSU is looking rather down this season, I just can't see them taking out Mizzou this season. Thoughts?"
